Note 15 — Chapter VI · MY FIRST SETTLEMENT ON KILIMA-NJARO.
Reading edition
The country of Ugweno is very interesting, and offers the most lovely landscapes in its midst, combining peaks of 7000 feet, rich forests, cascades, green lawns, and peeps at the lake below and the silver windings of the Luvu. The Wagweno speak a tongue that is evidently more archaic than that of the Wa-čaga. They are an inoffensive but very timid, wild people; much harried formerly by the cruel Masai. Now they live so high up in the hills that they are in safety, but, on the other hand, lack good soil for their crops and pasture for their cattle.
